First, I understand this is a total noob question... and I'm SURE the answer is here somewhere, but I'm having a rough time digging through all these threads to find exactly what I'm looking for.
I rooted my Evo with unrEVOked3. This is an original Evo from release day.
Android 2.2 - 3.29.651.5 stock rom.
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.97.0000
I would like the latest update but obviously cannot install it with root.
From what I have gathered reading through all of these threads is that I need to backup with Titanium 1st. I have tried installing this and it says it could not aquire root privileges.
Do I need to have busybox installed 1st?
Where do I go from here?
I am trying to get my phone back to stock but keep my apps and settings..
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
1st of all TB won't work on stock you need su privileges. Also you need to be on a rooted rom & use the problems button in the bottom right of TB to install busybox. I suggest using mybackup pro if you plan to go back to stock unroot
Flash a rooted 3.70 rom..
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
Do I need to backup 1st with Titanuim?
This is what you need to do.

I followed directions in above link and didn't lose any data. You can do a nandroid and TB backups just in case.

I only rooted with unrevoked3.. should I run unrevoked forever also?
That's what I did. Read up on it if you have questions.
Well... I finally did it. Thank you everyone for your help.
It's definately not rocket science, but for someone who does not have a lot of experience with this, the thought of possibly bricking your phone can cause some anxiety.
I ended up backing up the things that I wanted to save with Titanuim Backup. Then I installed the rooted ROM and radio updates located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
For those of you that are new to this.. Once you download these, you need to rename the zip files to "update" and place them on the root of your SD card. (do these one at a time and I installed the ROM 1st) Then shut down your phone and turn it back on with the "volume-down" key pressed.
I did notice that after restoring some things with Titanuim, that it took a couple resets for certain items to restore. (eg. previous text messages)

First of all thanks specifically to the four people mentioned below, amon ra, and also to everyone on this forum and the forum team. I am really becoming edumacated, but still have a long way to go.
This is a question for netarchy, toast, whitslack, and/or l33t or anybody.
BACKGROUND:
Bought 2 evo’s. 1 for me and 1 for my wife. Computer is an Imac.
Rooted my evo using netarchy’s “the easiest 1.47.651.1 root+nand unlock you’ll ever see without a gui (updated)” thread 741294. It is easy.
Followed that up with whitslack’s “starting over method” thread 715915.
Now running netarchy’s odexed 2.2 with 4.0.3a kernel with pri 1.40. (what a pain to get it updated to 1.40 but I bagged it).
Everything is running great for me. All directions and instructions were perfect and worked as advertised. EASY PEASY. (except bagging the 1.40 pri of course).
CURRENT GOAL:
Now I want to root my wife’s phone. I am not running a more current kernel yet because I have been reading my butt off to find a method to not downgrade her pri to 1.34. I can’t wait to try a newer kernel, but that will have to wait.
I found many threads with references to modified pc36img.zip images without the rcdata included in them to root without downgrading the pri to 1.34. None of them really definitively answers whether or not the process works completely. Most of the threads end in dead ends because of a signed file problem loading modified PC36IMG.ZIP files.
QUESTIONS:
Since rooting was so easy before, I would like to use the same method’s on my wife’s phone. She is still at 1.47 (been holding off all updates OTA). So, since netarchy’s method utilize’s Toast’s PC36IMG.ZIP which downgrade’s the pri to 1.34, I have the following questions:
1) Is it possible to run unrevoked forever to turn s-off on my wife’s phone (still on 1.47 or 2.1), then complete step 2 below and use the unrevoked tool to turn s-on back on and still have my wife’s phone still rooted and nand unlocked via netarchy’s procedures? I think that this would allow me to complete step 2 below without the problems of a signed PC36IMG.ZIP mentioned in l33t’s thread wip update pri to 1.40. I would like to not leave s-off because I would be the one to brick her phone through my fat fingered mistakes. I would like to use this tool only to get her phone exactly to where mine is in the easiest fashion possible.
2) - Could I follow Netarchy’s procedure (after unrevoked forever) as before, but substitute l33t’s PC36IMG.ZIP (from l33t’s WIP update pri 1.40 thread - I think he removed the rcdata from it) for Toast’s PC36IMG.ZIP and achieve the exact same results as before except the pri will remain at 1.40? Thus I would achieve root and nand unlock with the 1.40 pri.
3) When following Whitslack method, does Whitslack’s PC36IMG.ZIP also downgrade the PRI to 1.34 or not? I am not sure of, or if there is any difference in his file versus Toast’s. I believe differences do exist, I just do not know exactly what they are.
4) If Whitslack’s PC36IMG.ZIP file does downgrade the pri to 1.34, is there an alternative file to use in his method to not downgrade the PRI to 1.34 , or is l33t’s PC36IMG.ZIP file OK to use with Whitslack’s method also? Should the s-on tool be utilized after Whitlack’s method using l33t’s PC36IMG.zip?
5) After whitslack’s method should I then reload the new amon ra recovery tool since I think his method loads amon ra 1.7.0.1
6) After reading, I am totally confused regarding backups. I love my nandroids now that I am rooted (a full backup tool should be standard from HTC and Sprint from the get go). I also now read that a new Amon-RA recovery exists. I believe I read that it now has the ability to select specific portions of a backup to restore. Please correct me if I am wrong and this may be my answer. So my question is where or how would I be able to backup my wife’s current contacts with custom ringtones and people’s pictures in favorites and her calendar before rooting -before all the data for these gets wiped before rooting (maybe not possible)? Does the google sync do all of this (after reading I don’t think it does)? This is the main concern for an easy root for her evo. We don’t care about sms, mms, emails nor homescreens (the homescreens are relatively easy to re setup – just some finger pushing). I know I can use a file manager (like ASTRO and Appbrain) for apps and apps data, and Titanium backup after rooting (but I don’t get how to restore on Titanium or what to restore – I played with it on my evo with no success except for apps). Yes I am dumb and I also believe her data would be wiped by this point anyways.
7) If I substitute the new Amon ra recovery 1.80 in part two of Netarchy’s root procedure, would that be sufficient to save her data and then selectively restore what is needed? Or would this be too late to save her contacts, custom ringtones, people pictures, favorites, and calendar?
8) Do I even need to do Whitlack’s method, because I would immediately be loading Netarchy’s 2.2 odexed rom. Could I just after using Netarchy’s root and nand unlock procedure (with the l33t’s PC36IMG.ZIP and the new Amon ra recovery 1.80, immediately proceed to flashing Netarchy’s 2.2 odexed 2.2 rom and be done because his 2.2 load procedure includes radio and wimax updates?
9) If it is possible to use unrevoked forever (s-off) and the new s-on tool, do I have the correct sequence of their uses in order? Or am I mixing apples and oranges methods and it just won’t work?
10) Is there a better procedure (and what is it) to do what I want? If I have to bite the bullet and just manually reload everything just let me know and I will go about it that way.
I know a few other people have kind of the same questions, so maybe this can be a way to help others with the same questions get the answers. Us noobs are always looking to take short cuts and think we understand when we really don't know nothing.
Thank you for all of your efforts prior to this. You people are geniuses.
Sorry for the length of this. I do not not totally understanding everything after reading for weeks and thanks for any response in advance. I really tried to understand before asking these questions. If I should have known better, then please blast away at me for not finding the answers already and I apologize before hand for wasting everyone's valuable time.
great answers
Thanks sooo much

My 4g was broken with the 3.29 update (really). The Sprint store was nice enough to order me a replacement after they determined they couldn't fix it. It'll come in a day, then I mail back the old phone.
I have used unrevoked 3.21 to root and put Amon-RA on it in the past. Before going to the store to have it checked out, I reflashed the stock 3.29. Amon-RA is still on there but it's not-rooted. Is there anything I should do before returning it so they don't say it was my fault? I think I need to reflash to S-ON. Anything
else?
Also, I think my flashing adventures are over but I'd really like root access on the new phone so I can use Titanium backup. It should have Froyo installed already. If I update to 3.29, flash Amon-RA for nandroid backups and use unrevoked 3.21 - and nothing else - that shouldn't break my 4G right? I plan to backup my mac wimax.img before doing anything.
Unrevoked has the s-on tool posted on their site just flash it first then flash the stock pc36img and ur golden, like u never even turned the phone on in the first place..sorry i would give u a link but im not sure if i can do that from xda app. U can hit me up if u have any probs

Got it. Thanks mate.
Welcome, i learned that from deleting all the sprint bloat apps and deleted the sprint voicemail by accident and i realy liked it so i had to flash the img to get it back, at the same time as the ota came out so i unrooted, flashed pc36img, ota, then reroot after making a nand backup....always nand..always
So I was kinda scared about putting Android on my old HD2 but I think things look a bit easier on my DHD so I'm planning on taking this big step
Just a couple of quick questions:
Will this SuperOneClick method work on my DHD?
Does this guide look comprehensive enough to you guys? Any missing steps, or things I might trip up on? I'm fairly PC-savvy but know next to nothing about this kind of thing
Thinking about CM7 (which I know is popular) or Revolution HD (as I like/am used to Sense). Any big pros or cons I should know about first?
Any tips or words of encouragement/reassurance would go a long way
Oh and in case it's important:
Desire HD
Vodafone UK
Android 2.2.1
Baseband 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff
Build 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Software 1.72.405.3
I Recommend this one-click tool by jkoljo tool since it's what i used
One Click Radio S-Off
Also one thing the guide doesn't mention is you probably need to downgrade the rom since HTC made it so you can't root with that version, so follow this guide to downgrade. The guide also mentions using ENG S-OFF with you don't really need unless you're gonna play with fastboot commands. so just use Radio S-OFF it safer and easier to remove in case you need to go back to stock.
Downgrade Guide
Or else the guide looks pretty fool proof but unless you try to flash a radio there should be no risk to brick it the worst that could happen is a boot loop and those are pretty easy to get out of.
Also i can recommend Android Revolution since it's what i currently use, though i i've been wanting to try out MIUI but don't want the hassle of a full wipe again.
But good luck with rooting you're not gonna regret it
EDIT: Okay the guide does mention downgrade so just ignore what i said about that -.-
You can find the downgrade guide --> HERE
Thanks both for your advice, good to know these extra bits of info.
The last thing I forgot to ask was about backing up things like photos, apps and SMS messages. At what stage in the process (rooting -> flashing ROM) does that happen? Or is it even possible?
I've heard people talk about Titanium Back-up but I don't know when you use that, nor which things it works for and which things I would lose if I do this.
Photos that are on your SD card will not be touched by rooting and flashing ROMs.
Apps can be backed up with Titanium Backup, or you can install them again from the Market.
You can back up your SMS' with SMS Backup+ from the Market, its free and stores everything in your GMail account so you can easily restore them.
Titanium Backup will simply backup your apps to your SD card. You might experience problems when restoring apps from HTC Sense 2.2 to CM7 2.3, but then again you might not.
Right, well I think I've fallen at the first hurdle... :/
I used SuperOneClick and it did its thing (ran the check at the end, said everything was OK) and put SuperUser onto my phone.
So then I got Titanium Back-up to back-up all my apps etc and when I open it, it tells me I don't have root...
I think my problem is that I can't root as I'm on software 1.72...?
The downgrade guide says to root I have to be 1.3, but says that before downgrading I should back-up with Titanium. But how can I use Titanium if I don't have root, when I need to downgrade to root in the first place...?!
Argh any help out there, please?
SuperOneClick does not work for Desire HD. How about reading some guides in the android dev forum? There are a few links in my sig that give you full root + s-off, check them out. I recommend the radio s-off tool.
Hi jkoljo - thanks for the tip re. SuperOneClick not working with (my) DHD. Was driving me crazy.
I'm looking at your sig links - I think I need to follow the ENG S-OFF and Radio "Swiss Knife" ones? - but both say that I need to root with Visionary first...
I think this guide is what I need...?
If someone could also help me order the process below that would be a big help.
1. Root with Visionary
2. Backup apps using Titanium
3. Downgrade to software v1.32
4. Flash new ROM (Android Revolution HD or CM7)
5. Restore apps using Titanium
Oh and one extra qu: the CM site doesn't list the DHD as a compatible device. Should I use normal Desire, Evo 4G, something else...?
0. Backup with my backup pro, Titanium does not work without root
1. Downgrade
2. Follow my radio s-off guide, there is a link to visionary, just get the apk and use the app.
3. Follow my eng s-off guide
4. Done.
You can also refer to the ROM flashing guide, it has all the steps one after the other CM7 is compatible, just check the Android dev subforum. That list you linked is outdated.
Thanks jkoljo.
Worked through all the steps and I think it went OK. Now cracking on with flashing new ROM as per this guide...
1. Do I need to worry about the 'Flashing a radio' step(s)?
2. Reading through the instructions before I try it, it talks about doing a 'nandroid backup'. Not quite sure what this means - I searched Android Market for nandroid and nandroid backup but only three things came up, none of which seemed right.
Cheers!

Nandroid backup is the backup solution incorporated into Clockwork recovery, it allows you to take a system snapshot, a la ghost, which will allow you to restore your system as is.

I have installed the Hboot drivers and have ran unrEVOked 3.
The problem is that when in bootloader screen it says s-off which from my knowledge means it is rooted... YET!!! There is aboslutely no superuser permissions and i have tried downloading superuser, busybox, and titanium backup but all need root access. Even BusyBox said i have no root.
I am curious as to what i have done wrong or anything in particular that i am missing from the rooting process.

run unrevoked again
I DID! :/ I actually did it 3 times. I read that i may need to download and flash a pc36img file to finish the job but idk i would like more replies.
Did you run Unrevoked 3 or forever?
i ran unrevoked 3 i downloaded it from the site but i do remember when it was pushing the root file into the phone it said forever something... it vaguely remember though... would it fix if i run unrevoked again? even tho i ran it 3 times
Have you tried pushing Superuser with ADB?
Also, can you boot into recovery?
EDIT: Also download root checker & see what that says.

Down load this file and place it on the root of the sd card. Hold volume down and power on phone. Once in boot loader it will scan for the pc36img. And then it will ask if you want to update. Hit volume up to begin update. Here is a link to the pc36img.zip its from the sprint lovers thread.

What current state is your phone in before you run that file?
I was able to run an older version of Unrevoked to establish SU access, but Unrevoked Forever is incompatible with my radio version. So, I have SU access, but I cannot remove or convert any applications using Titanium Backup. TB runs, but it reboots the phone if I try to remove system apps. HBOOT shows S-ON since Unrevoked Forever was not able to complete due to the radio version. So, am I stuck with S-ON? Is Unrevoked Forever going to continue developing releases to cover 2.15.10.07.07?
If I understand correctly, I cannot flash an older radio version with S-ON. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
HTC Incredible
2.3.4
Baseband: 2.15.10.07.07
you are correct,s-on will only let you go forward with "approved by htc" files. that means no backpeddling firmware to a rootable version,no flashing only a radio or recovery. im surprised that unrevoked even worked to get you su access,i was under the impression that all exploits had been patched in 2.3.4 source code. what happens if you try and install clockwork?
if you truly have su access,it seems it may be possible to use adb to rewrite the misc image,and thus be able to flash backwards in firmware.
however,from the sounds of the behavior youre describing for tibu,i dont believe you have su access. it prolly only put the app in the drawer,and was unable to place the matching binary.
we have been telling folks for months that they should become s-offed before the GB update,as it would be unrootable.
i bought an xtc clip awhile back that is supposed to support the incredible. i dont know that it will actually work,ill know for sure when it gets here. im told it only works with sim card phones,wich the inc is not,but its clearly listed in the supported devices.
your only real hope at this point is that someone finde a new exploit that will allow temp root and re-writing of the misc image so that you can flash older rootable firmware,or that alpharev/unrevoked can add the incredible to its supported devices list,as they use some sort of hboot trickery to get a hard patched permanent s-off hboot onto the phone first. from there you load a recovery thru hboot,then flash su in recovery.
sorry this isnt the news youre hoping for.
Thank you for the help.
It is odd. I definitely have su access through terminal, and I am running opengarden and barnacle wi-fi tether. I ran an older version of Unrevoked, and it did not complete the final step of s-off. Clockworkmod installed successfully, and I created a recovery image. Can we expect some way to root after the GB update? Is this just an HTC thing? I'm sorry for all of the questions, but I was soooo close!

If you already have clockwork mod, flash the unrevoked forever zip from here
When I flash the zip file, I get E:/ unsupported radio version. E: update failed.
Do you have adb set up and running? Are you fairly comfortable copy/pasting commands?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
still with us? waiting for an answer to the above so we can procede
also is it possible you can post or PM me a link to the version of unrevoked you used?
if you dont have a link,just email me the whole file( [email protected] ) im extremely interested in trying to duplicate your condition and figuring out a reliable way for folks to downgrade and root.
Scotty,
I'm sorry for the delayed response.
I do not have ADB setup, but I have no problem following directions to get S-off and reclaim some memory!
I have emailed you the Unrevoked file to your email address. This should run perfectly on 2.3.4 with the exception of the last step of flashing unrevoked.zip for S-off. You will see the "unsupported radio version" errors on the phone's screen. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help. Thank you for your help with this.
I got your email. I will put some stuff together for you,and try it out and see if it all works the way I hope it will. If so ill upload a mini-adb with some exploits files and post a guide. Basically,were just going to rewrite the misc image so you can downgrade back to froyo and run unrevoked forever. After you reroot and get s-off back,you can restore a backup of what you have now.

Ok after reading this thread again. My guide for the merge on froyo or the stuff I have for gingerbread for the merge will not work on a non emmc device. 2nd who buys a xtc clip and doesn't look what they buy? The way it works is with the sim card slot. Inc doesn't have one so it isn't going to work. It also isn't listed as supported as it would be pointless to say it does.
If I am not mistake with s-on you can't flash the recovery partition. So how did you get clockworkmod? If you have clockworkmod then you can flash non htc files. Well actually I am not sure how that would work as you have s-on but clockworkmod. Since I have never been in that boat I am unsure.
So are we talking about the inc or inc 2? If inc I am trying to think back to the desire and what was possible on s-on. If I remember right you can dump the misc then flash a lower version ruu. I just can't remember if it doesn't even flash or if it does and doesn't downgrade the radio. By the way I got it in a pm/here scotty was planning to base helping you off my merge guide. By the sounds of it anyway.
Where the commands are not the same. As the partitions would be different. The misc-image is also not the same so if he had you flash the merge misc it will more than likely bork stuff. I am more than willing to help though. How ever I do not check the forums so you are better off pming me. I will say that nothing will probably work until unrevoked supports the new radio.
Edit: If the incredible works with a goldcard. Dump the misc partition and edit it for the firmware version you want to downgrade to. Then run a lower version ruu. When that is done run unrevoked. Of course I don't have a inc so I am not sure if that will work either. I also jumped a bit to conclusions so sorry for that. I also do not get your one post about the xtc clip here, yet in that other post say the clip doesn't support the inc.
thanks for your input,but rest assured we are in no way shape or form refering to anything to do with drellisdees's guide,your copy of it,or any other files,guides,etc. you have linked or posted on this site or yours.
he allready has root access and a recovery partition.
again,thanks for your input,but please stop confusing the issue with your references to merge guides.

My Incredible also is S-on with Verizon 2.3.4 OTA and never rooted. I'll give that "crude guide" a try tonight and report back how it went.
I'm just tired of all the low memory notifications and the constant force closes. Hopefully, I can have a custom mod installed tonight if things go well.
SUCCESS!!
Instructions from the website flawlessly for me.
I first rooted the phone. Then I tested it with some root only apps. They all worked. So ideally you can stop here if all you want is root but next OTA will take away root and then you'll be stuck again.
I completed all the steps and they worked. I was able to downgrade to 2.2 and then run unrevoke3 to root and also turn S-off. It did wipe the data clean. No files from my SDcard were deleted.
This is the time i've rooted my phone and the whole process took me an hour because I was being extra careful not to miss any steps. It all went smoothly.
glad it worked out for you. we finally worked out enuff bugs i put it up here as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400

Worked like a champ. I did a recovery back to 2.3.4 and it worked as expected. Also brought back all my force close issues. So I used ROM Manager and installed Cyanogen7 and am loving it.

Help Please
Just like the op I have a Dinc that is on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and baseband 2.15.10.07.07 and desperate to have root. S-OFF would be nice, but root would be just fine for now.

sorry,i have no idea. i did a quick search and couldnt even find the windows version of 3.22 that i uploaded... i wanted to link it at its source,since it was emailed to me,but im not sure where he downloaded it from. you might follow the link in the first post credits to the original xda thread and ask on that thread,or send efizzle a private message and see if he can help you. in a worse case scenario,as long as you have 3.32 for linux,you could get temp root and downgrade with the "zergRush" method described in past #2. it doesnt require 3.22,but you wont be able to make a backup,or run titanium unless you can push SU,the binary,and busybox to their respective locations after acquiring a temp root.
